If someone has died leaving behind money in the bank, landed properties or personal belongings, and you want to take over these assets, or want to administer, manage, distribute, or sell off the assets; the following is a guide on what you need to do.

Benjamin Inaku, a traumatised man moved about for about four years with a growth on his back but could not do anything about it because he was financially incapacitated.

Sen. John Owan Enoh represents Cross River Central Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate. He is a Senator with vast legislative experience who is constantly in touch with his constituents as a grass root politician who inter-faces regularly with his constituents to know their problems and his areas of intervention. Relying on his wealth of experiences acquired when he represented Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives before graduating to the senate, he has so far given the Central Senatorial District unprecedented efficient representation. He has been able to bridge the gap that hitherto existed between Abuja and his constituency. His phone number has remained unchanged unlike some politicians who would change their phone numbers immediately after winning the elections. He picks his telephone calls and replies to text messages, thereby giving his constituents a sense of belonging.

The interview was processed by DAVID ODEY.
